Imagine this: A top global Contract Research Organization (CRO) has decided to ditch the paperwork and embrace a digital future. RealTime eClinical Solutions is the chosen partner, and this move could change how clinical trials are run globally.
RealTime eClinical Solutions, a leading name in clinical research software, just announced a major win. A top-five global CRO will be using their eRegulatory (eReg/eISF) platform. This means streamlining how they manage regulatory documents across hundreds of studies and investigator sites worldwide.
This decision isn't just a one-off; it's part of a bigger trend. RealTime's platform is already trusted by 3 of the top 5 CROs and 9 of the top 10 site networks. They're clearly doing something right!
Why the switch? Clinical trials are getting bigger and more complex. Global CROs are ditching old-school methods like paper binders and fragmented file systems. These outdated tools can't keep up with the need for quick inspections and transparent operations.
RealTime's eReg/eISF steps in to solve this. It offers a centralized, secure space where everyone involved—from investigators to monitors—can access the most up-to-date, compliant documents in real time. Features like version tracking, automated alerts, and complete audit trails mean CROs can stay on top of things without constant manual work. This ensures they're always ready and confident, even with hundreds of trials running simultaneously.
"Our eRegulatory platform was built to meet the demands of global, multi-site trials where precision, visibility, and compliance are critical," said Stephen Johnson, CEO of RealTime eClinical Solutions. "Being selected by one of the world's largest CROs reinforces what our partners already know; RealTime scales with the industry's most complex operations."
But here's where it gets interesting: RealTime's platform is designed to make a real difference. They're trusted in over 85,000 studies and for 7 million patients globally. The impact is measurable:
- 5x faster inspection readiness through centralized documentation and automated workflows.
- Up to a 75% reduction in monitoring visit costs via remote document access and real-time visibility.
- Accelerated study startup through streamlined delegation and signature workflows.
In 2025, RealTime even won the Clinical Trials Excellence Award for Innovation in Digital Platforms. This award recognized their role in advancing connected clinical trial technology.
"RealTime's growth reflects a fundamental shift in how the industry approaches technology adoption," added Johnson. "The organizations leading the future of clinical research aren't just adopting more tools. They're adopting systems that connect every piece of the process. That's where RealTime leads."
